Andrews Federal Credit Union Participates in Read Across America Day
SUITLAND, Maryland (PRWEB) March 16, 2018 -- “Oh the places we will go,” by Dr. Seuss, can be used to accurately describe the places his books would travel to reach children around the world.
Andrews Federal Credit Union’s Joshua Barrett, Chievres Branch Manager, recently participated as a reader at SHAPE American Elementary School for Read Across America Day. Launched in 1998 by the National Education Association (NEA), Read Across America is the nation’s largest celebration of reading, focusing coast-to-coast attention on the importance and the joys of reading. The event brought leaders and volunteers within the SHAPE and USAG Benelux communities together to read to elementary school students.
“In my second year participating in this event, I have grown to enjoy not only reading to the children, but also watching their priceless expressions as they experience the book being narrated,” said Barrett. “There is nothing like witnessing the joy on a child’s face as their imagination takes flight from the story that the book is telling.”
